FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure generally relates to the touch controltechnologies and, more particularly, relates to an integrated touchcontrol display panel and a touch display device.

BACKGROUND

With the advancement of modern electronic technologies, the displaypanel of display device may incorporate additional structures to supportmore functions. For example, touch control structure may be incorporatedto support touch control function to provide users with applicationconvenience.

Currently, to reduce the thickness of display panel and support touchcontrol function at the same time, touch control structure is oftenintegrated into display panel. When the capacitive touch controlstructure is used, the touch control electrodes of the capacitive touchcontrol structure may be directly formed on the same substrate as thedisplay structure. Such configuration may cause the need to make changesto the original components in the conventional display panels.

For example, the entire surface of common electrodes of conventionalfringe field switching (FFS) display panels may be divided. The dividedcommon electrodes may operate as touch control driving electrodes in thetouch control phase. To improve viewing angles, FFS mode display panelsmay often adopt the dual-domain structure or the pseudo dual-domainstructure. According to the present disclosure, to accommodate thedual-domain structure or the pseudo dual-domain structure, the dividedcommon electrodes may need further design adaptation. It is likely thatthe dividing slits in the dual-domain structure may bend. Such dividingmethod may likely cause defects where adjacent divided common electrodesmay not be completely separated and may occasionally causeshort-circuit. Thus, the production yield may be reduced substantially.

The disclosed integrated touch control display panel and touch displaydevice are directed to solve one or more problems in the art.

The two first bent portions 1512 a may be located on both endsof the first straight portion 1511 a. Each second pixel unit 130 b mayinclude a second pixel electrode 151 b. Each second pixel electrode 151b may include a second straight portion 1511 b and two second bentportions 1512 b. The two second bent portions 1512 b may be located onboth ends of the second straight portion 1511 b.

The extension direction of the first straight portion 1511 a and theextension direction of the second straight portion 1511 b may besymmetrical with respect to the second direction Y. The two first bentportions 1512 a located on both ends of the first straight portion 1511a may extend in the same direction. The absolute value of the anglebetween the extension direction of the first bent portions 1512 a andthe second direction Y may be greater than the absolute value of theangle between the extension direction of the first straight portion 1511a and the second direction Y. The two second bent portions 1512 blocated on both ends of the second straight portion 1511 b may extend inthe same direction. The absolute value of the angle between theextension direction of the second bent portions 1512 b and the seconddirection Y may be greater than the absolute value of the angle betweenthe extension direction of the second straight portion 1511 b and thesecond direction Y. The extension direction of the first bent portions1512 a and the extension direction of the second bent portions 1512 bmay be symmetrical with respect to the second direction Y.

In one embodiment, the array substrate 10 may include a plurality of thestripe shaped common electrodes 141. The stripe shaped common electrodes141 may extend in the second direction Y and may be sequentiallyarranged in the first direction X. During the touch control phase, thestripe shaped common electrodes 141 may operate as touch control drivingelectrodes. The array substrate 10 may also include a plurality ofcommon electrode slits 142 that are located between any two adjacentstripe shaped common electrodes 141. Referring to FIG. 4, each sectionof the common electrode slit 142 may include a first slit 1421, a secondslit 1422, and a connection slit 1423 that is located between the firstslit 1421 and the second slit 1422 and connects between the first slit1421 and the second slit 1422.

The first slit 1421 may extend in the same direction as the firststraight portion 1511 a extends and the second slit 1422 may extend inthe same direction as the second straight portion 1511 b extends. Thecenter line of the first slit 1421 and the center line of theneighboring second slit 1422 may extend and intersect at a first pointP1. The center line of the first slit 1421 may intersect with the centerline of the connection slit 1423 at a second point P2. The center lineof the second slit 1422 may intersect with the center line of theconnection slit 1423 at a third point P3. The orthogonal projection ofthe center line of the connection slit 1423 on the substrate 100 mayfall inside or coincide with the triangle formed by the orthogonalprojection of the first point P1, the second point P2 and, the thirdpoint P3 on the substrate 100.

Referring to FIG. 2, the array substrate 10 may only include an array of6*6 pixel units 130 for illustration purpose. The scope of the presentdisclosure is not limited by this specific configuration. In oneembodiment, the extension in the first direction X of the scanning lines111 may refer to that the overall extension direction is parallel withthe first direction X. The individual sections of the scanning lines 111may be bent. Similarly, the extension in the second direction Y of thedata lines 121 may refer to that the overall extension direction isparallel with the second direction Y. The individual sections of thedata lines 121 may be bent. For example, to improve viewing angles, thepixel electrodes may be bent. In this case, the data lines 121 may bebent accordingly. However, the data lines 121 may still extend in thedirection that is perpendicular to the extension direction of thescanning lines 111.

In one embodiment, two adjacent data lines 121 may intersect with twoadjacent scanning lines 111 to define a pixel unit 130. Each pixel unit130 may include a thin film transistor 131. The thin film transistor 131may be an amorphous silicon thin film transistor or a polysilicon thinfilm transistor. The thin film transistor 131 may be disposed at theintersection of the data line 121 and the scanning line 111. Inaddition, the thin film transistor 131 may have the gate electrodeelectrically connected to a scanning line 111, the source electrodeelectrically connected to a data line 121, and the drain electrodeelectrically connected to the pixel electrode 151. When thecorresponding scanning line 111 opens, the signal on the data line 121may be transmitted to the pixel electrode 151.

The plurality of the pixel units 130 may include a plurality of adjacentfirst pixel unit 130 a and second pixel unit 130 b that is arranged inthe second direction Y. The first pixel unit 130 a may include the firstpixel electrode 151 a and the second pixel unit 130 b may include thesecond pixel electrode 151 b. Referring to FIG. 2, the pixel electrodes151 may include electrodes that are inclined toward the right along thesecond direction Y and electrodes that inclined toward the left alongthe second direction Y. The right inclined pixel electrodes may bedefined as first pixel electrodes 151 a and the left inclined pixelelectrodes may be defined as second pixel electrodes 151 b. In otherembodiments, the first pixel electrodes 151 a and the second pixelelectrodes 151 b may be inclined differently. The pixel electrodeinclination is not limited by the scope of present disclosure. The pixelelectrodes that are inclined to two different directions may producedifferent electric fields when coupled with the common electrodes tocontrol the liquid crystals to rotate in different directions in orderto improve the viewing angles.

The first pixel electrode 151 a may include the first straight portion1511 a and the first bent portions 1512 a. The first bent portions 1512a may be located at both ends of the first straight portion 1511 a. Thefirst bent portions 1512 a located at both ends of the first straightportion 1511 a may extend in the same direction. The second pixelelectrode 151 b may include the second straight portion 1511 b and thesecond bent portions 1512 b. The second bent portions 1512 b may belocated at both ends of the second straight portion 1511 b. The secondbent portions 1512 b located at both ends of the second straight portion1511 b may extend in the same direction.

The extension direction of the first straight portion 1511 a and theextension direction of the second straight portion 1511 b may beessentially symmetrical with respect to the second direction Y. Theextension direction of the first bent portions 1512 a and the extensiondirection of the second bent portions 1512 b may be essentiallysymmetrical with respect to the second direction Y. Because the firstdirection X is perpendicular to the second direction Y, when theextension direction of the first straight portion 1511 a and theextension direction of the second straight portion 1511 b aresymmetrical with respect to the second direction Y, the extensiondirection of the first straight portion 1511 a and the extensiondirection of the second straight portion 1511 b are also symmetricalwith respect to the first direction X. Similarly, the extensiondirection of the first bent portions 1512 a and the extension directionof the second bent portions 1512 b are also symmetrical with respect tothe first direction X. The symmetrical configuration of the firststraight portion 1511 a and the second straight portion 1511 b mayimprove the uniformity of the liquid crystal display panels.

The absolute value of the angle between the extension direction of thefirst bent portions 1512 a and the second direction Y may be greaterthan the absolute value of the angle between the extension direction ofthe first straight portion 1511 a and the second direction Y. Theabsolute value of the angle between the extension direction of thesecond bent portions 1512 b and the second direction Y may be greaterthan the absolute value of the angle between the extension direction ofthe second straight portion 1511 b and the second direction Y. Becausethe first straight portion 1511 a is inclined toward the right along thesecond direction Y, the angle between the first straight portion 1511 aand the second direction Y may be positive. Similarly, because thesecond straight portion 1511 b is inclined toward the left along thesecond direction Y, the angle between the second straight portion 1511and the second direction Y may be negative. Whether the angle ispositive or negative indicates the angle inclination. The absolute valueof the angle indicates how wide the angle is.

The absolute value of the angle between the extension direction of thefirst bent portions 1512 a and the second direction Y may be greaterthan the absolute value of the angle between the first straight portion1511 a and the second direction Y. That is, the first bent portions 1512a may be inclined at a wider angle than the first straight portion 1511a. Similarly, the second bent portions 1512 b may be inclined at a widerangle than the second straight portion 1511 b.

As shown in FIG. 2, the orthogonal projection of the end points of thecenter line of the first straight portion 1511 a that is arranged in thefirst direction X on the substrate 100 may coincide with the first lineL1. The orthogonal projection of the end points of the center line ofthe second straight portion 1511 b that is arranged in the firstdirection X on the substrate 100 may coincide with the second line L2.That is, all the first straight portions 1511 a may have equal lengthand all the second straight portions 1511 b may have equal length. Inthis case, the center line may be defined as the connected center pointsof the shortest connecting lines between two contour lines that areformed by extending any section of the electrode in the second directionY. The first straight portion 1511 a, the second straight portion 1511b, the first bent portions 1512 a, and the second bent portions 1512 bmay have equal width in the first direction X.

The first bent portions 1512 a and the second bent portions 1512 b mayhave large inclination angles. By using geometry deduction, it is knownthat the distance between two adjacent first bent portions 1512 a issmaller than the distance between two adjacent first straight portions1511 a, and the distance between two adjacent second bent portions 1512b is smaller than the distance between two adjacent second straightportions 1511 b. Because the distance between two adjacent bent portionsis smaller than the distance between two adjacent straight portions,when the same voltage is applied, the electric field intensity at thebent portions may be greater than the electric field intensity at thestraight portions, and may have stronger driving force to rotate theliquid crystals. Thus, the display defects at the end portions in thepixel units 130 may be avoided.

The plurality of the stripe shaped common electrodes 141 may extend inthe second direction Y. As shown in FIG. 2, three stripe shaped commonelectrodes 141 extend in the second direction Y. Each stripe shapedcommon electrode 141 corresponds to two columns of pixel units 130. Thisspecific configuration is for illustration purposes. In otherembodiments, each stripe shaped common electrode 141 may correspond tomultiple columns of pixel units 130. Similar to the data lines, theextension direction of the common electrodes 141 in the second directionY may indicate the overall extension direction. In specific productdesigns, the common electrodes 141 may be bent to accommodate differentpixel unit configurations in the display panels. The plurality of thestripe shaped common electrodes 141 may be sequentially arranged in thefirst direction X.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of the scanninglines 111 may be connected to the scanning driver circuit 113 throughthe scanning connection lines 112. The plurality of the data lines 121may be connected to the data driver circuit through the data connectionlines 122. The plurality of the stripe shaped common electrodes 141 maybe connected to the common electrode driver circuit 143 through thecommon electrode connection lines 142. The gate electrode driver circuit113 may be the integrated driver circuit or the amorphous silicon drivercircuit. During the display phase, the common electrode driver circuit143 may supply the common electrode signals to the plurality of thestripe shaped common electrodes 141. The common electrodes 141 may becoupled with the pixel electrodes 151 to form the electric field torotate the liquid crystals to display images. During the touch controlphase, the plurality of the stripe shaped common electrodes 141 mayoperate as the touch control driving electrodes. The common electrodedriver circuit 143 may supply the touch control driving signals to theeach common electrode 141, respectively.

For illustration purpose, the dimensions and angles of variouscomponents shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 may be exaggerated. To illustratethe configurations of the common electrodes and common electrode slits,pixel electrodes, thin film transistors, and scanning lines, etc., areomitted in FIG. 4 though these components may still be found in FIG. 2.Such drawing arrangement is not limiting the scope of the presentdisclosure.

In one embodiment, the array substrate 10 may include the plurality ofcommon electrode slits 142. Each common electrode slit 142 may belocated between two adjacent stripe shaped common electrodes 141. Eachcommon electrode slit 142 may include a first slit 1421, a second slit1422 and a connection slit 1423. The connection slit 1423 may be locatedbetween the adjacent first slit 1421 and second slit 1422. The firstslit 1421 may extend in the same direction as the first straight portion1511 a extends. The second slit 1422 may extend in the same direction asthe second straight portion 1511 b extends. The first slit 1421 may beconfigured corresponding to the first straight portion 1511 a and mayincline toward the left along the second direction Y. The connectionslit 1423 may be configured corresponding to the intersection betweenthe first pixel unit 130 a and the second pixel unit 130 b.Specifically, “corresponding” indicates that at least one of the twoadjacent end points of the two center lines of the adjacent first slit141 and second slit 142 may have the orthogonal projection on thesubstrate 100 fall between the first line L1 and the second line L2. Inthis case, the center line may be defined as the connected center pointsof the shortest connecting lines between two contour lines that areformed by extending any section of the electrode in the second directionY.

Referring to FIG. 4, the center line of the first slit 1421 and thecenter line of the neighboring second slit 1422 may extend and intersectat the first point P1. The center line of the first slit 1421 mayintersect with the center line of the connection slit 1423 at the secondpoint P2. The center line of the second slit 1422 may intersect with thecenter line of the connection slit 1423 at the third point P3. Thecenter line of the first slit 1421 may be L12. The center line of thesecond slit 1422 may be L13. The center line of the connection slit 1423may be Lc. L12 and L13 may intersect at the first point P1. L12 and Lcmay intersect at the second point P2. L13 and Lc may intersect at thethird point P3. Connecting between the second point P2 and the thirdpoint P3 may obtain the connection line L23.

In one embodiment, the connection slit 1423 may be a straight line. Theabsolute value of the angle between the extension direction of thecenter line Lc of the connection slit 1423 and the second direction Ymay be smaller than or equal to the absolute value of the angle betweenthe extension direction of the center line L12 of the first slit 1421and the second direction Y. Specifically, the absolute value of theangle between the extension direction of the center line Lc of theconnection slit 1423 and the second direction Y may be 0. The absolutevalue of the angle between the extension direction of the center lineL12 of the first slit 1421 and the second direction Y may be |θ1|. 0 issmaller than |θ1|. That is, the orthogonal projection of the center lineLc of the connection slit 1423 on the substrate 100 may coincide withthe connection line L23, and the connection line L23 may extend in thesecond direction Y.

In other embodiments, the straight line type connection slit may extendin other direction, and the absolute value of the angle between theextension direction of the center line Lc of the connection slit and thesecond direction Y may be smaller than or equal to the absolute value ofthe angle between the extension direction of the center line L12 of thefirst slit and the second direction Y.

The orthogonal projection of the center line Lc of connection slit 1423excluding the end points on the substrate 100 may coincide with thetriangle formed by connecting the orthogonal projection of the firstpoint P1, the second point P2 and the third point P3 on the substrate.The orthogonal projection of the first point P1, the second point P2 andthe third point P3 on the substrate may be connected to form a triangleΔP1P2P3. The orthogonal projection of the center line Lc of connectionslit 1423 excluding the end points on the substrate 100 may coincidewith one side P2P3 of the triangle ΔP1P2P3.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, in the integrated touch controldisplay panel according to the present disclosure, the connection slit1423 may have a width D2, and the first slit 1421 may have a width D1.D2 is greater than D1. The connection slit 1423 may have wider widththan the first slit 1421. The first slit 1421 and the second slit 1422may have equal width. The width of the connection slit 1423 may begreater than the width of either the first slit 1421 or the second slit1422. When forming the common electrodes, such slit configuration mayprevent adjacent stripe shaped common electrodes 141 from gettingshorted due to insufficient etching around the bending corners. Thus,the production yield may be improved.

Further, in one embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the secondpoint P2 and the third point P3 on the substrate 100 may be locatedbetween the first line L1 and the neighboring second line L2. As shownin FIG. 4, when the orthogonal projection of the second point P2 and thethird point P3 on the substrate 100 is located between the first line L1and the neighboring second line L2, the first slit 1421 of the firststraight portion 1511 a may have a length in the second direction Ygreater than the length of the first straight portion 1511 a in thesecond direction Y, and the second slit 1422 of the second straightportion 1511 b may have a length in the second direction Y greater thanthe length of the second straight portion 1511 b in the second directionY. During the image display phase, the first slit 1421 and the secondslit 1422 may be coupled with the pixel electrodes to form a stableelectric field to avoid poor image display near the connection slit1423.

In certain other embodiments, at least one of the adjacent second pointP2 and third point P3 may have an orthogonal projection on the substratelocated between the first line L1 and the adjacent second line L2. Thisis because at least one thin film transistor 131 may be configuredbetween one first pixel unit 130 a and one adjacent second pixel unit130 b. As shown in FIG. 2, the thin film transistor 131 may be locatedat the bottom of the pixel unit 130. For example, a scanning line 111 islocated between adjacent first straight portion 1511 a and secondstraight portion 1511 b. The distance between the first straight portion1511 a and the scanning line 111 may be different from the distancebetween the second straight portion 1511 b and the scanning line 111.

Because the first slit 1421 and the second slit 1422 are configuredcorresponding to the first straight portion 1511 a and the secondstraight portion 1511 b, one of the second point P2 and the third pointP3 may be located outside the region between the first line L1 and thesecond line L2. However, as long as the orthogonal projection of thecenter Lc of the connection slit 1423 excluding the end points on thesubstrate 100 coincides with or is located inside the triangle formed bythe orthogonal projection of the first point P1, the second point P2 andthe third point P3 on the substrate 100, the potential short circuitsbetween two adjacent stripe shaped common electrodes 141 caused by theinsufficient etching at the corner may be avoided. Thus, the productionyield may be improved.

Further, in the integrated touch control display panel according to thepresent disclosure, the orthogonal projection of the center lines of thefirst slit 1421 and the second slit 1422 on the substrate 100 maycoincide with the orthogonal projection of the center line of the dataline 121. Referring to FIG. 3, the dot-dash line may connect the centerline of the common electrode slit 142 and the center line of the dataline 121, and may evenly divide the common electrode slit 142 and thedata line 121 into two equal portions on the left and the right. Thedot-dash line may be perpendicular to the substrate 100.

In other words, the orthogonal projection of the center lines of thefirst slit 1421 and the second slit 1422 on the substrate 100 maycoincide with the orthogonal projection of the center line of the dataline 121 on the substrate 100. The orthogonal projection of the centerline of the connection slit 1423 on the substrate 100 may or may notcoincide with the orthogonal projection of the center line of the dataline 121 on the substrate 100. Without reducing the aperture of thepixel unit 130, such configuration may prevent the potentialshort-circuit between two adjacent stripe shaped common electrodes 141.Thus, the desired production yield and the desired pixel unit aperturemay be achieved at the same time.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in the integrated touchcontrol display panel according to the present disclosure, the totalnumber of the first slits 1421 and the second slits 1422 may be M foreach common electrode slit 142, and the number of the connection slits1423 may be N. N≥0.95M, wherein M and N are positive integers. Thereason for this guideline is explained in the following.

The connection slits 1423 may be located between the first slits 1421and the second slits 1422. Generally, a display panel may include adisplay region and a non-display region. Due to the constraints in thefabrication and the application, special considerations may be taken toenhance the electric field between the common electrodes and the pixelelectrodes in the display region. For example, the slits between thecommon electrodes may be altered to match the protrusion pattern in thebent portions of the pixel electrodes. In this case, a third slit thatis different from the connection slit 1423 may be configured between thefirst slit 1421 and the second slit 1422 to connect the first slit 1421and the second slit 1422. Thus, the number of connection slits 1423 maybe smaller than or equal to the total number of the first slits 1421 andthe second slits 1422. In order to ensure the insulation betweenadjacent stripe shaped common electrodes 141, the number of theconnection slits 1423 may not be smaller than 95% of the total number ofthe first slits 1421 and the second slits 1422, i.e., N≥0.95M.

Moreover, each common electrode slit 142 may have A number of the firstslits 1421 and B number of the second slits 1422, wherein A=B, A=2K, andK is a positive integer. That is, the first slits 1421 and the secondslits 1422 appear in pairs. Such configuration may ensure that the firstslits 1421 and the second slits 1422 are configured to match thecorresponding pixel electrodes. The slits between two adjacent firstlines L1 may be parallel with the first straight portions 1511 a of thepixel electrodes, and the slits between two adjacent second lines L2 maybe parallel with the second straight portions of the pixel electrodes.Thus, uneven display may be avoided and the pixel aperture may beincreased.

In the integrated touch control display panel according to the presentdisclosure, the orthogonal projection of the center lines of theconnection slits on the substrate excluding the end points may coincidewith the triangle formed by the orthogonal projection of the first pointP1, the second point P2, and the third point P3. Such configuration maywiden the gap at the junction where the slits bend to reduce the risk ofshort circuits between adjacent stripe shape common electrodes, and mayensure the display quality of the display panels.
